I’m simply amazed at the progress in start-up performance over the past few releases. I should have archived a screenshot from january, but window load time has been around 3 seconds on my box but in recent releases it’s dropped below 900ms.

A while back, when my load time went from 7 secs to 2 secs, I submitted a bug report to atom/atom saying it was too fast. I used to switch to the browser and read a comic on each load and I didn’t have time to do that anymore.
